“ Shes not going down without a fight.”

Author's Response: Aww, thanks so much! I haven't had any reviews since May, so this was an immediate heart warmer :)

Well, I hope the review box is happy with my words. I heard about this story from a friend that claims to be your freind. I've only read the 1st chapter so far but I thint it's really good. I'm looking forward to reading the rest of this fic so keep updating!

Author's Response: Reviewbox is very happy, thanks. I think I know who you're talking about.
Thanks for the compliments and thanks for reading!

Author's Response: I'm so glad you love it! Yeah, the guys now love Monica. Who know's how Chris is going to react... ; )
I'll update when I can.
What song are you singing? And, if you don't mind my asking, why?
Haha
Thanks for the review!

I know this is nerdy of me, but you said he is 'growing on the inside' followed by 'the doctor said so'. I immediately thought of Doctor who and his TARDIS... I'm such a dork. (sorry if you aren't english/ have no idea who the Doctor is)

anyway... Chrisss :] he is soo cool! love him!
andd- the singing! LOL. loved it! such a sirius thing to do :] espesh making up the lyrics. it was odd cause that song had just started playing on my itunes :D

yay- monica is smexy now :]
oh btw i absolutely LOVE rachel. she is one cool bean! and Ava :]
sorry for the long review! the long and the short of it is:
great chapter, keep it up!

I loved writing the Christmas carol part. It was great fun. That's cool that it came up on your iTunes, creepy creepy! lol just joking. I actually know a guy who was called Sphen in 5th grade, so that's where that came from. It does seem like a very Sirius thing to do! lol
That was my favorite part of writing this chapter.

Rachel is definitely one cool bean. She's so cool. But I just love Ava, you'll see more of her character developement later on.

I hope you could picture the hair okay, it was kind of spontaneous, but I needed to do something.

heyy!! great chapter!! this is my favorite so far, i like the length of it and the plot too! between monica's hair cut and the whole chris thing she is making me envious! i love the part about "picking up on the vibes", it reminds me of lunch and such! keep writing!

"books like pets" now that's clever. I also liked the reference to the Muggle toaster.
I've enjoyed the banter in this episode more than in the previous chapters. I also enjoyed the real emotion in the ending scene.
I am interested in the previous 6 year relationship and how everyone is not only growing up but apart - why is that? I am curious.
I am also curious about everyones personal magical skills and what lies hidden as they are now mostly grown and will soon head out into the magical world.
Hopefully sparks will soon fly - I can hardly wait. Get going on that 4th chapter - I too am hungry.

Author's Response: "books like pets" if only books were pets...well to me they kind of are, well everything to me is kind of like a pet (I have a satisfying obsesion with naming things). There's nothing quite like the mystical powers of a toaster, they are quite fascinating when you think about it. You should listen to Yeah Toast on youtube by Heywood Banks, it makes me laugh everytime.

I really need to do some re-editing; characters, teachers, magic, observations, past relationships, appearances, past events, you name it. Since I'm aware of everything going on in the story (characteristics of characters, weather, conversations, and just about anything else that affects the visualization) I have this huge picture in my head. Sometimes I forget that you don't see the same things I do. It's like you're watching this story on a little TV and I'm watching it in a movie theater. Or you're watching it in widescreen DVD form, and I'm watching it in fullscreen DVD form. I sometimes forget that I need to write EVERYTHING down, not just the outlines.

I have to say...your style is very strong, it comes across in your story very clearly... your fic has the same nonsensical and wonderful quality of your reviews. :)

It's a little disjointed, and that's a problem that I always have, like all the time - losing out on scene changes and stuff because I'm so focused on getting to the funny bits... I'm very guilty of that. XD But you actually pull it off well, so that's okay. :D

I really do love Chris. He's so incredibly awesome. :) I want to marry him too!!

You are so fantastically random. This chapter was hilarious - the whole story's hilarious, right from the beginning. Keep up the good work!
